Reason for Leaving _________________________________________________________________________________ The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act was enacted by the United States Congress in 1986. The new Federal Law places certain requirements and responsibilities on operators of “Commercial Vehicles.” Therefore, all vehicles the Westbrook School Transportation Office operates are commercial vehicles, and the following requirement must be met. It is illegal to hold more than one driver’s license. A driver may be fined up to $2,500 and may be disqualified from driving commercial vehicles. If you are holding more than one license, you can return “extras” to the state(s) from which they were issued. Do not destroy a license, as the state will maintain that you are still a licensed operator from their state. Are you presently holding more than one license?
